2018 Hootin an Hollarin costume parade is 2 p.m. Friday
Colt Greeley Suter, son of Kursten Suter and Brad Hamm, was dressed in his hillbilly best for the 2017 Hootin an Hollarin costume parade.
One of everyone’s favorite Hootin an Hollarin events is the Friday afternoon costume parade and contest, when folks young and old – and sometimes whole families – dress up in old-fashioned costumes to wow the spectators and judges.
Costumed participates sign up across from City Hall on the northwest corner of the square beginning at 1:30 p.m. Friday. At 2 p.m., the costumed participatns parade around the square to the main stage on the east side.
